            <h3>Description of Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza</h3>
            <div class="gameDescription dscr">
            <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="this.remove()" class="readmore">Read Full Review</a><p><em>Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza</em> sucks. All that follows is exposition thereon.</p>

<p>For those still interested, the game is based on the first film of the Die Hard series, in which cunning Alan Rickman takes over the state-of-the-art Nakatomi Plaza building as part of a deeply devious robbery, and only Bruce Willis, there to meet his separated executive wife, can stop the faux terrorists. It's a great action flick noted for a stonking villain, displays of ingenuity on both sides, pulse-pounding set pieces and an all-too human hero who gets hurt and tired and frustrated rather than simply displaying the traditional action-hero square chin and invulnerability. Sadly, all these points are missing from the game.</p>

<h4>Looks and Sounds</h4>

<p><em>Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza</em> is a first-person shooter using the versatile Lithtech engine, backbone of such fine offerings as <em>No-One Lives Forever</em> and <em>Alien vs. Predator 2</em>. Here, though, little is done with it. Detail is low, animation poor, characters blocky - in the wake of <em>Return to Castle Wolfenstein</em> and <em>Medal of Honor</em>, <em>Die Hard</em> looks crude. It doesn't help that the entire game is set in an office block, which means the environments are limited to plush offices, not-so-plush offices, offices-that-aren't-finished-yet, sewers (because it's not an FPS without them), a laboratory, a roof and a parking lot. What's more, the Nakatomi interior designers favour the ever-so-interesting colours of white, grey and beige, making these environments both boring and repetitive, and the trick the game pulls later on, of making you blunder around levels in the dark doesn't spice things up any.</p>

<p>If a game is going to be based around a restricted environment, something else needs to take up the slack. There must be action to keep up the pace and tight plotting to keep you guessing. <em>Half-Life</em>, one of the best shooters ever, is set entirely in a very functional research base and yet works brilliantly. <em>Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza</em> doesn't.</p>

<p>Characters are poor, too, with jerky animation and low polygon counts. Sierra apparently don't have the rights to use the likenesses of Bruce Willis or Alan Rickman, and to prevent glimpses of Mr Willis, the game is careful to exclude him from cutscenes and restrict itself to first-person view when he would be present in a shot. To make entirely sure the copyright on Bruce's face is sacrosanct, the mirrors in the bathrooms don't reflect, which is a bit of a surprise in this day and age.</p>

<p>When fire, destroyer of cities and bane of civilisation, is called upon to play a role, it is here acted by disastrously animated wibbly-wobbly orange stuff. It looks stupid, and rather fails to inspire the terror that a blazing inferno in a confined space ought.</p>

<p>The sound is fine. Guns go budda-budda, bad guys shout things from a rather limited selection in German-ish accents and fire crackles. The context-driven music is okay, but nothing exceptionally notable or unworthy.</p>

<p>However, not since the otherwise spiffy <em>No-One Lives Forever</em> has a game suffered from such dull, turgid, drawn-out interruptions to game play. All are displayed using the game's uninspired graphics, in which ridiculously polygonal characters open and close their mouths in bland mid-distance shots while dialogue is played. It's often difficult to work out what's actually going on in them, and who's meant to be who. None of the film's tension is carried over to the cutscenes, which, instead of advancing the plot, suck away any glimmerings of tension as effectively as the very voids of space itself.</p>

<h4>Story and Mission</h4>

<p><em>Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza</em> bases itself on the film with near-fanaticism. Assuming you've seen the film (and surely everyone has) you'll know all the plot twists and all the set-pieces, which neatly excludes one reason to play all the way through. Sometimes you'll need to rely on knowledge of the film to progress: unless you remember that at one point McClane used a fire hose to jump off a roof, you'll spend a frustrating period running around trying to work out what the hell you're meant to be doing while dying over and over again.</p>

<p>In order to pad things out, a few new events have been added, which are a mixed bag. There's a nice section down in the parking lot escorting Argyle to a safe place, a section helping a SWAT team, and a Towering Inferno moment when you have to guide a hostage through a level as fire spreads, which would have been a lot more fun if aforementioned hostage wasn't so cripplingly stupid. The new sewers and labs, however, are dull. There's also a suspension of disbelief issue brought about by the conventions of FPS games. Instead of Hans Gruber and his hand-picked team of ten or so terrorists, we have Hans Gruber and his hand-picked team of <em>two or three hundred</em> terrorists... at one point John tells officer Powell over the radio that the terrorists are down by one, despite the fact you've gunned your way through about thirty of them by that point.</p>

<p>The game also suffers from obscure mission objectives. Generally, the only way to tell what you're meant to be doing at any one time is to press the 'O' key to bring up a list - rarely does the game content give you any guidance. Even the listed objectives are often unhelpful and apparently random ("Jump off the roof" being my particular favourite - I did. I died.).</p>

<h4>Gameplay</h4>

<p><em>Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza</em> attempts to add a couple of minor innovations to the standard FPS setup, but both end up being rather pointless. As well as a health bar you have to account for stamina and morale. Your stamina falls as John runs, jumps and otherwise exerts himself, and once depleted he can't do any of that stuff anymore. Unfortunately, stamina hardly ever comes into play during shootouts, where exertion consists mostly of leaning slowly from behind a wall, and instead kicks in when you have cleared the level but are running around looking for the way out. Its main function, then, is to slow down gameplay. The morale bar drops as you take damage and find yourself in dire straits, and has no perceivable effect whatsoever. Compliments, though, on the complete absence of jumping puzzles, which are never a good idea in games that don't let you see your feet.</p>

<p>Enemies have fairly basic AI which lets them lean around corners and otherwise make decent use of cover, and sometimes roll across the floor to thwart your aim, but they don't co-operate in any perceptible way and have a tendency to stand there firing blankly as you charge towards them. There's a modest selection of weapons available: a pistol, an MP5, an M16, a sniper rifle, a heavy machine gun and flash grenades. You'll use the MP5 to the near-exclusion of all else, because ammo for it is plentiful while being scarce for the other weapons.</p>

<p>There are a few unforgivably maddening moments. Certain scripted events, like a firefight between the terrorists and SWAT team, would be much more effective if it did something to hide the fact that the terrorists are invincible (found out by sniping 35 rounds into the head of one of them). Progress cannot be made unless you follow a specific course through the level, then amusingly witness the last of the untouchable terrorists go down just as you round a corner. While I'm a fan of cinematic moments in games, they should blend with the surrounding action (cf. Half-Life), and not be clumsily and restrictively imposed on the gamer.</p>

<p>Oh, and the dramatic final confrontation with the hostage-holding Gruber is rendered somewhat farcical when Gruber's apparently iron-skulled head allows him to withstand multiple high-velocity rounds with barely an 'ouch'. At one point it's possible to wander round behind Hans and shoot him in the back without fear of hitting Holly. The game couldn't handle such underhanded tactics, though, as Hans left Holly, who continued to act as if being strangled, and backed off towards the window, still acting as though he had a hostage. I emptied a few dozen rounds of ammo into him, but he didn't seem to mind.</p>

<h4>Conclusion</h4>

<p><em>Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza</em> is likely to appeal only to FPS fans desperate for a fix. The game is well behind its peers in execution and presentation, and fails to do anything interesting with the Die Hard license. In its favour, it should be retailing at a cheap and cheerful £19.99, which is a move towards reasonability for a game with no multiplayer support that will take shy of ten hours to play through to the end. On the whole, an eminently forgettable title that will do nothing for the reputation of film tie-in games.</p>
